Left handed designer, illustrator and UX researcher. Still listens to vinyl and CDs. Reads physical books. We love camping with our six dogs.
I miss the days where games came in hard box, with manuals and other goodies. Where you can also stash good stuff.

Just dumped 9kg worth of ewaste for recycling. Accumulated for 20 years. Camera, various cables, chargers, routers, battery packs, etc.

Fortunately, iPods are not one of em. Still sporting the iPod Nano on my walk.

Back when I used to pirate films. It wasn’t easy to access any foreign film (non-Hollywood) back then. If you’re interested in films, piracy is the way. Most of these disc are 20 years old.

Some films in this collection are also inaccessible. Not available to stream or physical media.

Symphonic Suite Akira never fails me on a deadline. My no.1 productivity tool for the past twenty years.

And yes, I still use a CD player.

Nobody mentioned that reading the 900+ page The Books of Jacob also requires 6 hours of YouTube videos of history lessons.

Another “I’m obsessed with our camping gear vibe”. Snow Peak TTA as work related trinket organizer.

First time in years I’ve read this many books. There’s 3 months left to a year. Hoping to finish at least 1 book a month before the year closes.

Apple just enabled AirPods Pro latest feature for iOS17 before the release date. Conversation Awareness works really well!

I have iOS17 RC installed.

When you’re preferred home furniture is also your camping furniture. I wonder what kind of predicted future I’m living in.

Take chair from Snow Peak.

I guess I’m back to buying CDs again. If there’s no vinyl, then CD it is.
